Unfortunately I'm not aware of any specific place for that: I wrongly
thought that you were involved in the development of the modem and you
knew the chipset.

However, sometimes the name of the chipset is left in the firmware
revision: you can try looking if there's any hint in the output of the
device caps request. If it's a Qualcomm modem it should probably also
support QMI-over-MBIM service, so maybe you can also try a few DMS
requests (--dms-get-software-version, --dms-get-revision...).

Sometimes also the USB descriptors can be useful.

Daniele
